Without jinxing it....a thought on relegation

I reckon after last night Colchester will almost certainly go down. As things stand they need 11 points just to get out of the drop zone with only 27 left to play for.

Scunny could still get out of it if they pick up a couple of wins but they've been poor all season.

So Colchester and which other two to go down?

I'd love the Fowls to go down, but I don't think they will.

Of course if Cardiff go into administration today then they'll go second bottom which would change everything. Wouldn't ever wish that on anyone though (except Leeds).

 

Sc unthorpe and Colchester are down..............

and Leicester have an awful run in-not one easy game-and they have already played 38 games-if Wednesday don't get a point from the two Coventry games they could be in there as well

 

Don't care who goes down or how they do as long as it's not us

... still need 6 or 7 points

 

How many to get safe do you think this season - surely more than 50?

 

well worst case is 53 but..........

50 or more has only finished bottom 3 in 5 of the 19 seasons since the division went to 24 teams-51 might be required this year as it's quite bunched apart from the bottom two

 

how many on 52 mate ? nt

 

1 on 52 2 on 51 2 on 50

the 52 was 1995/6 when Mick McCarthy left mid season. They had been flying at the top of the league-had an awful run and only dropped into the 3rd bottom place on the last day of the season

 

Thanks Paul... so bar a mammoth disaster 53 will do it ! nt

 

why wednesday,i hope they stay up 1 of the few games where we can get a full house!can,t understand anybody that wants them to go down.

 

How many Did We Get

Last year? 50? If so, we should be looking to get at least 55 points.
